Darth Vader was the Dark Lord of the Sith and an evil villain to the Jedi. He too was a master of the Force but his powers came from the Dark Side. Even though it appears that his life is full of evil and destruction, he was not always a ruler by force.
Darth Vader began his life as Anakin Skywalker, a young slave. As time went by, young Anakin would eventually find himself full of anger, hate and deceit. From this, years passed and he grew to become Darth Vader.
Once believed to be as skillful as Yoda himself in the Force, Anakin Skywalker chose a path that would change the fate of the galaxy forever. Anakin was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Even though he grew up under the strict teachings of the Jedi, he often stepped away from this structure to fulfill his own wants and desires. Anakin was later renamed Darth Vader while under the command of Emperor Palpatine. Darth Vader later became the swift enforcer of Palpatine and led his elite team of Clone Troopers as he cut down the final Jedi on Coruscant. Darth Vader eventually killed off all the remaining powers of the Confederacy of Independent Systems in an attempt to bring peace to the new Empire.... or so he believed.
